Season’s Greetings from the British Medical Journal

By the time you read this, the 2011 Christmas edition of the British Medical Journal may already be out. And why should you care any more about this than previous issues? Wouldn’t you simply expect it to be another installment in the publication’s 170 year mission of engaging and informing medical practitioners?

(And of course, we can’t ignore the seasonal elephant in the room, so past Journal posts have also both attacked and defended Santa Claus as a public health role model.)

What will appear in this year’s edition is as yet unknown, but until it’s released, you can access a one-stop collection of the Articles of Christmas Past at the blog of Anne T-V (“a Canadian librarian with years of experience in continuing health education”).
